1-part epoxies are heat-cured adhesives offering maximum strength and durability. They remain liquid/uncured until heated. Handy Tip: 1 litre of adhesive covers 1sq.m at a thickness of 1 mm i.e. if only 0.5 mm thick, 1 litre will cover 2 sq.m Adhesive will remain liquid/ uncured until exposed to high temperature (typically above 100°C). Once adhesive has been applied and parts assembled and clamped, they can be batch-cured in an oven. Other methods of curing include infra-red heat or induction curing depending on the nature of the parts.

UV LIGHT CURE (UV) Single-part adhesives curing on demand with UV light. They provide clear, strong and visually clean bonds (note: one substrate must be transparent to allow UV light to reach the adhesive).

• Low viscosity allows easy spreading & assembly of large bevels • Slower to cure in low intensity UV light, allowing partial cure & easy clean up around edges of bevel/ decorative glass • Reduced hazard formulation IDEAL FOR: Bonding decorative glass bevels, glass/ metal furniture, architectural glass. • Bonds many plastics • Excellent environmental resistance IDEAL FOR: POS displays, signage, LED lighting • High strength • Cures clear and colourless with a tack-free finish • Automotive durability tested IDEAL FOR: Instrument windows, lamps, signage UV lamps vary in output and wavelength, which...

Product Selection Questions (PSQs)When discussing a new application with a customer, the following questions can help ensure the correct adhesive recommendation is made. 1. Finished Item - What is the final product or assembly? 2. Approvals - Are any industry or regulatory certifications required? 3. Materials - What substrates are being bonded? (e.g., metal, plastic, glass) 4. Bond Area - What is the size or surface area of the joint? 5. Gap / Coating - Is there a gap to fill, or do you need a surface coating? 6. Temperature - What temperatures will the assembly experience? 7. Environment -...
